As I said before, I started making strawberry jam first. What really started it all, was that I was tired of buying jam at the store that I couldn't really taste!! It resembled strawberry, kind of....but it wasn't like biting into a one and really tasting it. I went to the store and bought a couple pounds of fresh strawberries and went home and made some jam. The next week or so, I called up my friends and family and asked them if they would like me to make some for them too. I think that I surprised the cashier at Costco when I went in and bought about 60 pounds of strawberries the next day.
And the rest is...well, history. It's had its ups and downs. I like making new kinds, and I'm thrilled when they work out... One time I tried to make Peach Jam.....IT was gross!! It tasted like pumpkins!! No matter what I added to it to make it not taste like pumpkins, made it taste less like anything that I would ever eat voluntarily. And I couldn't really package it and sell "what once was peach, but tasted like pumpkins, but now tastes like road kill Jam!!" I think that would have ended my fun in sharing it REAL quick!!!
